Cut the car clutter with this popular trash can/organizer — down to $7 with Prime

I pride myself on keeping the interior of my car clean, though it's hardly spotless by any means — especially now that I have a toddler in the back throwing food and spilling drinks. One thing that I, as well as thousands of Amazon shoppers, use to help keep all of that clutter at bay is the popular Hotor Car Trash Can, on sale for $7 with Prime. That's less than a meal from the drive-thru these days, to say nothing of professional car cleaning.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

You can't put a price on the stress relief a clean ride brings, but for $7 (with Prime) — just a few bucks above its all-time low — it's less than one trip to the car wash. You'll save about 40% right now; it'll keep paying off every single time you look at your spick and span, crumb- and wrapper-free interior.

Why do I need this? 🤔

I just cleaned out the interior of my car after a long trip the other day. Cans, bottles, tissues and receipts — oh, so many receipts — had found their way into every cup holder and storage compartment. This trash can gives you an easy place to dispose of all of that before it starts to build up. It's waterproof, removable and machine washable, so say goodbye to those leaky messes.

Another feature of the Hotor I love: the three mesh pockets on the exterior that can hold everything from napkins and tissues (a necessity on even the shortest of car trips these days) to small toys and snacks. lt means I never have a hangry toddler shouting at me from the back seat (well, depending on how fast I can pass the fruit snacks).

Think a 2-gallon trash can isn't big enough to hold all that your family can throw at it? There's a simple solution: the 3-gallon variety for a few bucks more.

What reviewers say 💬

This car trash can has 3,000 five-star reviews on Amazon — proving that sometimes, the simple things make the biggest difference.

Pros 👍

"I've had this for a year and I love it!" marveled one motorist. "It may look small, but I fit two grocery bags' worth of trash in this little can! I appreciate the adjustable straps on it as well, so I could perfectly fit it in my car."

"I tried three different car trash cans and this one fit my needs perfectly," testified another. "It looks good too. The bag blends right into my black interior so it isn't obvious. I hang it off the back of the center console and [it] is long enough to hang below the air conditioning vent for the back seat of my Honda CR-V. My dog really appreciates that!"

"I used to have receipts, food wrappers and all kinds of junk around my car," recalled a reviewer. "Since getting this bin, my car has been spotless. I mounted mine to hang behind my center console. Highly recommend."

Cons 👎

This customer had a particular nit to pick: "This is the perfect-sized trash bin for a car. I absolutely love it, only downside is it only comes with a few bags. Other than that, perfect buy for a loved one or self."

"My only complaint is that I wish they sold the trash liners that originally came with it separately, as I'd buy more of them!" said a five-star fan. "However, I've just been using it without a liner since I ran out and I haven't had any leaks or accidents at all."
